Hold on, no wonder I'm the first person on the planet who ever dared
to click the "Restore all default settings" button (in the lab, of
course): How can the user click it with any confidence, when the only
information he knows about which settings he will be getting restored
back is only marked for one!:

(*) MonoBook (default) (Preview)

The rest are a mystery as to what the defaults he is about to get are.
The best he can do is create another account and see what they look
like, but we don't want him to do that. Therefore, please somebody add
"(default)" to each of the remaining items. Thanks.

The fix should be as simple as creating another form. Just set the method to get, the action to the URL of the verification page, and have the one submit element with no name and the value "Reset all default settings". Since the form has nothing to pass, it goes to the page with no values added.

Column Prototype

This is a very early prototype of a persistent column. It is not expected to work yet, and leaving it open will activate other new features which will break things. Press "\" (backslash) on your keyboard to close it now.
